Something interesting I caught in the episode where the gang goes to India for Sue Ellen Mishkie's wedding. At the very end when Jerry meets Kramer for the first time, he says "You must be Kessler" and Kramer tells him no it really is supposed to be Kramer. Now they may have taken care of this in the earlier episodes but I can't remember for sure. Is this how they took care of the Kramer/Kessler name change?

❓ Question
Fans discuss whether the backwards India wedding episode addressed the Kramer/Kessler name inconsistency from early seasons.

All i know is that in the 1st episode when Jerry was watching the tape of the Mets game and Kramer ruined the ending for him, you could hear jerry say "kessler, what are you doing , i was taping it!!" Then in the 2nd episode he was kramer, so sometime in between the 2 the name was switched. So it has some inconsistency, if kramer corrected jerry when Jerry was first moving in, why did he call him kessler after he was all moved in. Of course this is pretty anal and only one who knows alot about seinfeld would catch this. Thats my 2 cents
Well.. it wouldn't be the first time a name has been changed in a TV show.. Remember the Greatest American Hero's name was Hinkley.. and, no need to tell who had that name!
